The Police in Lagos have charged two men, Ifeanyi Chukwu and Amadi Orji, before an Ojo Magistrate’s Court in Lagos over the alleged stealing of Gas Cylinders.
Chukwu, 42 and Orji, 50, are standing trial before the Magistrate, Mr L K J Layeni, on a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and stealing.
They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor, Dr Simon Uche, told the court that the defendants committed the offence sometime in December 2022 at the Fancy and Furniture section of the Alaba International Markets in Ojo, Lagos.
He alleged that the defendants both conspired to steal Gas Cylinders owned by Victor Nzekwe.
The cylinders are said to be valued at N20 million.
He said that the defendants were eventually apprehended by the police and charged in court.
The offence contravened the provisions of sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.
The Magistrate granted the defendants bail in N1 million each, with two sureties each in a similar sum.
He adjourned the case until Feb. 7, 2024, for mention.
